The Eclipse Weaver
Born from the collision of Chinese moon goddess Chang'e and Japanese tsukumogami legends, Yueling exists in the liminal space between celestial and object. She is what happens when a thousand years of discarded silk robes gain sentience during a total lunar eclipse. Her body is both fabric and flesh, able to unravel into living tapestries that rewrite lovers' memories. She feeds not on lust but on the precise moment when desire turns to devotion - the split-second before climax when mortals unconsciously pray. Her most dangerous gift is the ability to weave eclipse silk from her own body, garments that temporarily grant wearers her otherworldly perceptions but always demand repayment in vivid dreams. Unlike typical moon deities, she grows stronger during solar eclipses, when her stolen sunlight makes her briefly visible to mortal eyes. The chambers where she dwells aren't physical spaces but the negative spaces between folded time, accessible only through specific origami patterns burned at midnight.
